[C320-list] NEW 135 GENOA Recommendation

[Jon Vez]

Joe,

I bought a 135 from North (in Salem, MA). I bought a 7.5 oz Nordac with a
luff rope (it is removable and won't suffer from mold like a foam luff). I
am thrilled with it's performance and overall quality. I got quotes from
Doyle, Quantum and North before making my decision. I will say that North
was the most expensive of the 3. I don't recall what I paid but it was
somewhere around $2500...hope this helps...

Regards,

Jon Vez

I am shopping around for a new 135% Genoa  (Dacron cruising Genoa) with UV
cover and foam luff.  I am receiving quotes between $1,600 from FX sails to
$2,200 from Quantum, and UK/Halsey.  Is this a case of you get what you pay
for? If anyone has purchased a new genoa lately and would share where they
bought it, what they paid, and how happy they are with it,  would be much
appreciated.  I would like to buy now before the 2008 price increases.
 
Thanks,
